Reviews and Ratings

Christian Marcoux rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

From the beautiful region of Almansa in Spain comes the Castillo de Almansa 2015. Made from Monastrell or Mourvedre, Grenache and Tempranillo, this wine shows amazing structured aromas of black raspberry, blueberry, lavender, black pepper, roasted meat and mocha. Great tannins with a full body, the dark fruit finish expresses itself remarkably. Vibrant flavors of blackberry, blueberry, fennel, tobacco and coffee showcase what a well made Spaniard should be. Enjoy!

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
